Do all students receive a notification if I change a due date for one student?
Hi @lbranen-ahumada,
Assuming you're using the "assign to" boxes, and adding a new box for the single student while then leaving the "everyone else" with the original date, the only student that should get notified would be the single student whose date changed.

We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
